Abstract
During diving, central nervous system oxygen toxicity may cause drowning or barotrauma, which has dramatically limited the working benefits of hyperbaric oxygen in underwater operations and clinical applications. The aim of this study is to understand the effects and the underlying mechanism of heat shock protein 70 on central nervous system oxygen toxicity and its mechanisms in vivo and in vitro. Rats were given geranylgeranylacetone (800 mg/kg) orally to induce hippocampal expression of heat shock protein 70 and then treated with hyperbaric oxygen. The time course of hippocampal heat shock protein 70 expression after geranylgeranylacetone administration was measured. Seizure latency and first electrical discharge were recorded to evaluate the effects of HSP70 on central nervous system oxygen toxicity. Effects of inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase and nuclear factor-κB on the seizure latencies and changes in nitric oxide, nitric oxide synthase, and nuclear factor-κB levels in the hippocampus tissues were examined. In cell experiments, hippocampal neurons were transfected with a virus vector carrying the heat shock protein 70 gene (H3445) before hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Cell viability, heat shock protein 70 expression, nitric oxide, nitric oxide synthase, and NF-κB levels in neurons were measured. The results showed that heat shock protein 70 expression significantly increased and peaked at 48 h after geranylgeranylacetone was given. Geranylgeranylacetone prolonged the first electrical discharge and seizure latencies, which was reversed by neuronal nitric oxide synthase, inducible nitric oxide synthase and NF-κB inhibitors. Nitric oxide, nitric oxide synthase, and inducible nitric oxide synthase levels in the hippocampus were significantly increased after hyperbaric oxygen exposure, but reversed by geranylgeranylacetone, while heat shock protein 70 inhibitor quercetin could inhibit this effect of geranylgeranylacetone. In the in vitro study, heat shock protein 70-overexpression decreased the nitric oxide, nitric oxide synthase, and inducible nitric oxide synthase levels as well as the cytoplasm/nucleus ratio of nuclear factor-κB and protected neurons from hyperbaric oxygen-induced cell injury. In conclusion, overexpression of heat shock protein 70 in hippocampal neurons may protect rats from central nervous system oxygen toxicity by suppression of neuronal nitric oxide synthase and inducible nitric oxide synthase-mediated nitric oxide production and translocation of nuclear factor-κB to nucleus. Impact statement Because the pathogenesis of central nervous system oxygen toxicity (CNS-OT) remains unclear, there are few interventions available. To develop an efficient strategy against CNS-OT, it is necessary to understand its pathogenesis and in particular, the relevant key factors involved. This study examined the protective effects of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) on CNS-OT via in vivo and in vitro experiments. Our results indicated that overexpression of HSP70 in hippocampal neurons may protect rats from CNS-OT by suppression of nNOS and iNOS-mediated NO production and the activation of NF-κB. These findings contribute to clarification of the role of HSP70 in CNS-OT and provide us a potential novel target to prevent CNS-OT. Clarification of the involvement of NO, NOS and NF-κB provides new insights into the mechanism of CNS-OT and may help us to develop new approach against it by interfering these molecules.

Abstract
PURPOSE/AIM Hyperoxic acute lung injury (HALI) is a clinical syndrome as a result of prolonged supplement of high concentrations of oxygen. As yet, no specific treatment is available for HALI. The present study aims to investigate the effects of edaravone on hyperoxia-induced oxidative injury and the underlying mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS We treated rats and human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells with hyperoxia and different concentration of edaravone, then examined the effects of edaravone on cell viability, cell injury and two oxidative products. The roles of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and PI3K/Akt pathway were explored using Western blot and corresponding inhibitors. RESULTS The results showed that edaravone reduced lung biochemical alterations induced by hyperoxia and mortality of rats, dose-dependently alleviated cell mortality, cell injury, and peroxidation of cellular lipid and DNA oxidative damage. It upregulated cellular HO-1 expression and activity, which was reversed by PI3K/Akt pathway inhibition. The administration of zinc protoporphyrin-IX, a HO-1 inhibitor, and LY249002, a PI3K/Akt pathway inhibitor, abolished the protective effects of edaravone in cells. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that edaravone protects rats and human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells against hyperoxia-induced injury and the antioxidant effect may be related to upregulation of HO-1, which is regulated by PI3K/Akt pathway.

Abstract
Central nervous system oxygen toxicity (CNS-OT) can occur in humans at pressures above 2atmospheres absolute (ATA), and above 4.5ATA in the rat. Pulmonary oxygen toxicity appears at pressures above 0.5ATA. We hypothesized that exposure to mild HBO following extreme exposure might provide protection against CNS, but not pulmonary oxygen toxicity. We measured the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and nitrotyrosine and nNOS levels in the brain and lung in the following groups: (1) Sham rats, no pressure exposure (SHAM); (2) Exposure to 6ATA oxygen for 60% of latency to CNS-OT (60%LT); (3) Exposure to 6ATA for 60% of latency to CNS-OT, followed by 20min at 2.5ATA for recovery (REC); (4) Exposure to 6ATA for 60% of latency to CNS-OT, followed by 20min at 2.5ATA oxygen and a subsequent increase in pressure to 6ATA until the appearance of convulsions (CONV); (5) Control rats exposed to 6ATA until the appearance of convulsions (C). SOD and CAT activity were reduced in both brain and lung in the REC group. GPX activity was reduced in the hippocampus in the REC group, but not in the cortex or the lung. nNOS levels were reduced in the hippocampus in the REC group. Contrary to our hypothesis, no difference was observed between the brain and the lung for the factors investigated. We suggest that at 2.5ATA and above, CNS and pulmonary oxygen toxicity may share similar mechanisms.

Abstract
AIMS Exposure to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) causes an antinociceptive response in mice. However, breathing oxygen (O2) at an elevated pressure can potentially cause oxygen toxicity. The aim of this study was to identify the determinants of HBO2 antinociception and the toxicity profile of HBO2. MAIN METHODS Male NIH Swiss mice were assessed for acute antinociceptive responsiveness under room air or 100% O2 at 1.0 or 3.5 atmospheres absolute (ATA), using the acetic acid-induced abdominal constriction test. For the oxygen toxicity test, mice were exposed to 3.5 ATA oxygen for 11min, 60min, and 60min daily for 2days (120min) or 60min daily for 4days (240min), then assessed by analyzing the levels of two oxidative stress markers, MDA (malondialdehyde) and protein carbonyl in brain, spinal cord and lung. KEY FINDINGS Only the combination of 100% O2 and 3.5 ATA caused significant antinociception. The antinociceptive effect of 100% O2 was pressure-dependent up to 3.5 ATA. In the oxygen toxicity test, mice exposed to HBO2 for different time intervals had levels of brain, spinal cord and lung MDA and protein carbonyl that were comparable to that of control animals exposed to room air. SIGNIFICANCE Treatment with 100% O2 evokes a pressure-dependent antinociceptive effect. Since there was no significant increase in levels of the oxidative stress markers in the tested tissues, it is concluded that HBO2 at 3.5 ATA produces antinociception in the absence of oxidative stress in mice.

Abstract
PURPOSE Standard treatment for decompression sickness (DCS) is recompression therapy with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). Non-recompressive therapies are needed to address mass casualty scenarios such as a disabled submarine rescue or DCS therapy in remote environments. Intravenously delivered perfluorocarbon (PFC) emulsions improve blood oxygen content and decrease mortality in several animal models of DCS. However, the enhanced oxygen delivery of PFC emulsions may increase CNS oxygen toxicity (seizures) risk when used in conjunction with HBO. We studied seizure latency and duration in swine randomized to receive PFC or normal saline with 6 ATA of oxygen. METHODS Yorkshire swine (n = 31) were fitted with EEG electrodes and randomized to receive 5 ml/kg of the PFC Oxycyte (Oxygen Biotherapeutics Inc., Morrisville, NC) or saline intravenously 1 h before HBO. Unsedated animals were fitted with a snout mask for inhaled gas delivery, positioned inside the hyperbaric chamber, and compressed to 165 ft of sea water (6 ATA). After 2.5 min at 6 ATA, breathing gas was switched to 100 % O2 until signs of seizure were observed and EEG activity was evident. At seizure onset gas was switched back to air for 3 min, then the chamber was decompressed. After 24 h, the dive profile/oxygen exposure was repeated to ensure no secondary effects of PFC drug redistribution or emulsion metabolism. RESULTS/CONCLUSION Intravenous PFC emulsion did not decrease seizure latency or increase duration on initial HBO exposure or after 24 h. This finding demonstrates the safety of PFC use in conjunction with recompression therapy to treat DCS.

Abstract
Numerous studies have reported on the global distribution, persistence, fate, and toxicity of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). However, studies on PFASs in terrestrial mammals are scarce. Rats can be good sentinels of human exposure to toxicants because of their habitat, which is in close proximity to humans. Furthermore, exposure data measured for rats can be directly applied for risk assessment because many toxicological studies use rodent models. In this study, a nationwide survey of PFASs in the blood of wild rats as well as surface water samples collected from rats' habitats from 47 prefectures in Japan was conducted. In addition to known PFASs, combustion ion chromatography technique was used for analysis of total fluorine concentrations in the blood of rats. In total, 216 blood samples representing three species of wild rats (house rat, Norway rats, and field mice) were analyzed for 23 PFASs. Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS; concentration range <0.05-148 ng/mL), perfluorooctane sulfonamide (PFOSA; <0.1-157), perfluorododecanoate (<0.05-5.8), perfluoroundecanoate (PFUnDA; <0.05-51), perfluorodecanoate (PFDA; <0.05-9.7), perfluorononanoate (PFNA; <0.05-249), and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) (<0.05-60) were detected >80 % of the blood samples. Concentrations of several PFASs in rat blood were similar to those reported for humans. PFSAs (mainly PFOS) accounted for 45 % of total PFASs, whereas perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFCAs), especially PFUnDA and PFNA, accounted for 20 and 10 % of total PFASs, respectively. In water samples, PFCAs were the predominant compounds with PFOA and PFNA found in >90 % of the samples. There were strong correlations (p < 0.001 to p < 0.05) between human population density and levels of PFOS, PFNA, PFOA, and PFOSA in wild rat blood.
